My New Toy

My new toy has arrived. The Merida Scultura 200. Right now it is sitting in our main living room in a cardboard carton.

I got this from Nikita Distributors of Calcutta today. It's an auspicious day. Janmastami. It was a holiday at work. So I took my Duster to their office  in Kamalalaya Center for delivery. Loaded it after flattening the backseat back rest. It is very light. One person can easily carry it manually. The box measures 54.5"x29"x8". You keep it on the floor along the length and height is 29 inches.

The cycle came from Pune, where Nikita's headquarters are. They sent it by FedEx. The cardboard carton got slightly torn at two places on the side. I haven't opened the box yet. I will do that on Sunday when Someshwar Rao comes to assemble the bike for me.

Meanwhile, I will have to buy a pair of pedals, a bottle cage and a helmet. That's the bare minimum. Which I will do tomorrow. After that I have to get a pump and at least one spare tube before I go anywhere cycling.
